    What an incredibly talented family! We had the joy of attending their Christmas show. WOW! Two hours of incredible music and singing - from oldies to Elvis to rock and roll - they covered it all. Well worth the price of admission. We will be back!

    We attended the production of Queen Esther in Branson. The theatre building itself is incredible both exterior and interior. It is coordinated very well with plenty of staff to direct parking and give lobby instruction about finding your seats. There are concessions and gift shops. For the Esther production, they used an elaborate 3/4 wraparound stage. It’s the most impressive set I have ever seen in live theatre. They truly captured the opulence of King Xerxes royal court. There are live animals used and the actors/animals will walk down the aisles. We sat in the 3rd row on the floor, which I thought were great seats, as I like to be close to the action. I can see the appeal of sitting farther back for a full vision of the massive production. I would highly recommend Sight and Sound and would consider a trip to Branson specifically to see the production of this beautiful Bible story.

    I am a Titanic buff and would have very high standards for this type of museum. I was pleasantly surprised to find how well done this was, and would highly recommend it to anyone. The tasteful way that this was displayed was beautiful and touching.

    Great show! Saw the country with friends. James Sibley is the best! Great vocals, great music and great band. The crowd was laughing and clapping and singing along…as were we. The only thing we were concerned about was that the Christmas section focused on one of the singers. The others have great voices and would liked to have seen them showcased more. Would like to have heard more traditional from the guys

    Jerry Presley is Elvis’ cousin. His show is fantastic. He tells a few stories of Elvis and you will think you are actually seeing Elvis. I highly recommend seeing this show while you are in Branson.

    We saw the Sanders.Family Christmas show. It was a follow up to the "Smoke in the Mountain" show. Hubby and I loved them both. We've seen Smoke on the Mountain" a couple of times, but this was the first time to see the Christmas show. The actors/singers are very good. You will laugh, a lot, and maybe cry a few tears. Both are very much worth watching.

    Cassandre has a beautiful voice! We thoroughly enjoyed the band, and we loved the addition of Jeremy Rabe, an excellent tenor voice. There is an operatic style and tone to Cassandre’s voice which, if you like that, is really beautiful. I’m not a big opera fan, but we did enjoy the show overall. I enjoyed it more when she sang with Jeremy. We are glad for the experience. Everyone is very talented!

    Of note, the Hughes Theater does not have good accessibility for disabled visitors in the men’s room. My husband is of smaller stature and in a smaller wheelchair and could not get into the handicap stall - a fellow show goer helped him. If you are in a wheelchair, power chair or scooter it will be difficult, or impossible, to use the restroom. We ran into a man the last time we were there who was in a motorized scooter - he had to forgo using the restroom altogether. It’s not accessible. My husband did bring this to the attention of one of the Hughes Bros when we were there about a month ago. Apparently it’s an expense issue; hope they will budget that fix for next year. It’s important!

    Wonderful, amazing, relaxing. Such beautiful butterflies that will certainly put on a show for you. The maze was challenging but I found my way through! Trying to walk through a trees roots was another option. Pay for one days admission and you may return for the next 2 consecutive days~ that was nice!
    Staff are all positive and upbeat~ that was a joy!

    The view was amazing. Our photos will be some of our favorite mementos. I was on “the ledge of death” last year around this time with “no hope” of leaving the hospital alive BUT GOD wasn’t quite ready to take me home! This was my very first trip away from home…I was so very thankful my husband surprised me with this trip!

    Caves give such night into geology and structure of our Earth. Marvel Cave is a well done tour which has beautiful underground stalactites and stalagmites and rooms. There is walking but it is doable. Make a reservation. Just a great addition to a day at SDC

    So many items on display! This museum was very well done. As a veteran, I could spend hours and hours perusing through the generations of memorabilia from WWI through the most recent wars in Iraq & Afghanistan.

    The acrobatic show was great , I had second row and the show was good,, the hand puppet show needs to be further back on the stage so everyone can get to see it , by him standing on the to demonstrate, the audience on the right couldn’t see all of it

    We had a large group of 10 from grandparents (60s) all the way down to a 5 year old and every single person had a great time here. Between the 10 of us we racked up over 25,000 tickets in 2 hours. The arcade games are great, really good selection and you can actually win tickets. Good selection of prizes, mostly geared towards young children but that’s to be expected.
